Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Dashcam Video Recovered and Restored

While reading through tweets today on Twitter, I came across one from Jim Cantore who retweeted a video of a dashcam about Japan's earthquake and tsunami. As I watched the video of the delivery driver's experience during that awful time for Japan, my jaw dropped in horror watching what happened from a bird's eye view on the ground.

The retweeted video Cantore wanted his followers to see was more than mind numbing. That's how he put it in his tweet.

While watching, I was reminded of several nightmares I have had as a child and as an adult of something similar. My nightmares weren't of being drown or watching what happens during a tsunami, they were of something that has happened in the U.S. recently, flooding of rivers.

During my nightmarish dreams, I would be driving to my job or to meet my family for one reason or another. I would drive over a hill near lakes where rivers would feed into them only to find the roads were covered with water. In these dreams, the water wasn't a few inches or feet. The depth of the water was at least 20 feet or more. The depth you would find in the deepest part of a lake or in an ocean.

In one of my nightmares, I wasn't able to stop and drove right into the depths of the water that had covered the road. Before the car had went in further, I had managed to get out of the car and back to dry land. In this nightmare, I would watch my car go under much like the cars in this Japan earthquake and tsunami video.

Other times, I was able to stop my car and turn around in the same scene that was playing out in my nightmare mentioned above. In other nightmares, the water was deep and crazy nightmare driver me would drive through the water going onto my destination.

Only in my nightmares can I even imagine how the people of Japan felt when the tsunami came ashore. Watching that video through a dashboard cam can only give anyone who watches it the sinking, scary feeling the citizens of Japan felt at that very instant while going about their daily business on a fateful day that would change their lives much like the day those in India felt when their country was hit by a tsunami.
